Taking Manic Depression Seriously
Manic Depression or Bipolar Disorder is considered one of the most severe types of depression that people usually suffer from. Characterized by sudden and extreme mood swings. Manic depression is called that because manic means ‘mania’, which refers to the ‘ups’ while depression refers to the ‘downs’. Bi-polar also refers to both ends of the spectrum of emotions
A lot of people experience erratic changes in their moods and, sometimes, these so-called mood swings are not just caused by PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) or stress. Doctors have diagnosed mood swings as a frequent symptom of depression, if these mood swings become severe. For example, if someone becomes annoyed because a shop does not have his favourite biscuits, it may only a sign of a spoilt brat, but when getting annoyed means that that person will shout and swear at the shop keeper, it may be the start of Manic Depression.
The ‘manic’ periods or ‘ups’ in Manic Depression (or Bi-polar Disorder) are described as the times when a person who has Manic Depression experiences extremely high periods, consisting of heightened energy, sudden outbursts of euphoric mood, extreme irritability, together with racing thoughts and aggressive behaviour. According to doctors, someone suffering from Manic Depression may have these so-called manic ‘periods’ not only for a day or so, they can actually go on for as long as a week or even longer.
During these so-called ‘low’ or ‘down’ periods, people who are suffering from Manic Depression may experience very similar symptoms to those who are suffering from ‘normal’ depression. People who are suffering from Manic Depression will experience episodes showing a depressed state of mind – including abject feelings of lack of self worth and being unloved.
There are many other signs too: irrational guilt, extreme sadness, anxiety attacks, feeling of not belonging, severe gloom and an obvious lack of pleasure. According to therapists, anyone who is depressed constantly for more than a week can be officially diagnosed as a Manic Depressive.
In spite of it being one of the most common and severe sorts of depressive disorder, Manic Depression can actually be treated, according to doctors. There’s no reason to worry too much about having it, just follow the procedures that the therapist tells you and take the prescribed medication in the proper dosage in order to help you (or your friend or love one) overcome Manic Depression before it becomes too late.
Also, people who suffer from Manic Depression should see their therapists regularly, in order to be able to release their repressed emotions to someone who is able interpret just what it is they are going through a lot better than an ordinary, untrained person.
Although positive results for Manic Depression can be obtained from natural remedies, a much more lasting relief from the symptoms of Manic Depressive can best be acquired through seeing a cognitive behaviour therapist. Contrary to some thought, when it comes to psychiatric treatments, psychiatrists, preferably those specializing in cognitive behaviour therapy, are still the best ones to visit for a permanent cure for Manic Depression.
